Your orc warrior hits the cyclops skeleton with an elven long sword! Your orc warrior looks more experienced. "Your orc warrior mumbles, "When this is all over, I'm going to start a fungus farm." Your orc warrior hits Jospeh with an uncursed elven long sword. Joseph dies! Beogh accepts your collateral kill. Beogh blesses Wulfoc with healing. . | ||

BONNNG is probably finishing in the top 20 accounts also. Most importantly, we found the shield of the gong twice, and of course wore it in both games. that shit made me grin like a maniac and I don't even play this game anymore | ||

http://crawl.akrasiac.org/rawdata/Dienosore/morgue-Dienosore-20130603-013211.txt Found an early battleaxe of vamp and just ran with it. I acquired a weapon and got the wrath of trog, which I gave to one of my bros. It was so fun to cast haste on him and watch the little guy beserk and dismantle everything in sight. My only regret is that I did not win this during tournament time :/ anyways, yay | ||

There is no scroll of experience. There is a potion of experience. | ||

If you start off as a non spell caster roughly how many scrolls does it take to learn spellcasting? A: Before the 0.9 revamp, it took (12 to 25) * (10 / int) * (2^(-apt/4)) scrolls, more if you didn't have a full enough xp pool. For the new system, turn off as many competing skills as you can, and try to read the scrolls shortly before you kill things. ^ Implies every scroll effects spellcasting before v0.9 and after. It's a stupid question whoever asked it, but should ignore this? I'm only asking because, well, I'm a noob and can take whatever extra xp I can get. | ||

1) reckless (everything up to a particular instance is cake, so don't take an actual new threat seriously) 2) worn down (navigating through menus, general pointing and clicking tedium) 3) Random Number Generator Crits against me So I guess I'll ask what are some essential macros. I'd like to speed up my games. I had been interacting with the interface for the most part and just recently realized the life-saver 'G' for travel to a specific location. | ||

1) play more, you will be able to judge situations more quickly. This is the biggest timesaver. 2) travel_delay = -1, explore_delay = -1 3) Other rcfile edits to make it easier to read the things you need to read. I personally completely redid message colouring in my rcfile, you probably don't have to go that far. Recolouring items and some messages is definitely a good idea. 4) Console players have significantly lower duration winning games than tiles online. I'm not sure whether console is actually faster (probably it is if you play online) or if this is just a coincidence If your goal is to win then my biggest advice is this: after every single death, figure out what tactical mistake you made that led to your death. There is very nearly always some tactical mistake. By this I mean things like positioning, which consumables you choose to use, etc. There are likely also strategic things (character-building) that you could improve upon but secretly character-building in crawl is pretty easy as long as you do things that make sense. It is tactics that are difficult. My biggest single tactical advice tip is this: you should almost never take a step toward an enemy that is in LOS. You should usually let the enemies come to you instead. This is the single biggest thing I notice when I watch bad players online. Losing a game to randomness basically does not happen in crawl, especially after d:4 or so. The only macro I use is I macro "z" to "Z" since I hate z. | ||

But I suspect that console players are more dedicated and just plain better as well. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CMgTngW.png) Was trying to explore all the branches in a suicidal fashion rather win right away so ended up dying. Branch order was: D1-Lair 8. Backtrack to D9, All Orc -> All Elf D11-D22, almost died turned around All Swamp-->All Spider-->All Slime D22-D27 V1-2 ---> All Crypt--->Tomb 1-2 very close to dying fled V2-5 Exploring side tunnel after clearing main room, Tried to flee with berserk to save haste wand charge, didn't work well Berserkers are too easy and I don't want my first win to be with their kind. I'm trying to make my first win with DsCK, but Xom keeps giving me trouble and ultimately is the one who kills me. Xom's record: spawned a hostile smoke demon <200 turns in. How many wins do you guys have worshiping Xom from start to finish? | ||

How many wins do you guys have worshiping Xom from start to finish? 0. Xom is an asshole, and I usually give up on trying to play CK after 30~ minutes. Unless you're a very, very good player, you will not win with Xom. He is by far the worst god in the game (worst as in, provides the worst help. If you're looking for a ridiculously unfair challenge though, Xom is your go-to god). EDIT: If you want something more challenging than a berserker, try playing anything with a Demonspawn. They're difficult, but in my opinion also very fun to play, if you can get over their slow leveling. Alternatively, if you want something that's chaotic and random, but not too chaotic and random, try playing a game with Nemelex. A very interesting god, who's also very powerful once you get the hang of how to play with him/her. Any race with a decent aptitude for evocations will work here, Hill Orcs make a good choice imo, but you can basically pick whichever race you want. | ||
